To recover heat source G(x) + H(t) by using the homogenized function and solving rectangular differencing equations

ABSTRACT

For recovering an unknown heat source F(x, t) = G(x) + H(t) in the heat conduction equation, we develop a homogenized function method and the expansion methods by polynomials or eigenfunctions, which can solve the inverse heat source recovery problem by using collocation technique. Because the initial condition/boundary conditions/supplementary condition are satisfied automatically and a rectangular differencing technique is developed, a middle-scale linear system is sufficient to determine the expansion coefficients. After deriving a multiscale postconditioning matrix, the present methods converge very quickly, and are accurate and stable against large noise, as verified by numerical tests.
